Best method for cleaning the exterior of an Audi A1?

I just purchased an Audi A1 and want to make sure I keep it looking pristine. What is the best method for cleaning the exterior of an Audi A1? I've heard mixed advice about using a pressure washer, hand washing, and using special cleaners. Would love to hear from someone with experience in keeping their Audi A1 looking brand new.

Hi Emma, congratulations on your new Audi A1! As an owner of an Audi A1 myself, I can assure you that keeping it clean and shiny is crucial. The best method for cleaning the exterior is using a pressure washer with a gentle soap or car-specific cleaner. It helps to get rid of any dirt and grime that may be stuck on the surface. Hand washing works as well, but make sure to use a microfiber towel to avoid any scratches. Avoid using any harsh chemicals or rough sponges as it can damage the paint. Happy cleaning!

Hi Emma, I'm Sarah and I also own an Audi A1. For me, the best method is to use a foam cannon with a car shampoo to create a thick layer of foam that can break down any dirt or debris on your car. Then, use a gentle sponge or mitt to wipe the foam off. This method is more time-consuming but leaves your car with a showroom shine. Make sure to rinse off the soap thoroughly to avoid any residue. Hope this helps!
